At the peak of the cliff, Xu Zhen's eyes, which had been tightly shut for a long time, finally opened as the aura within his body gradually calmed down. An obscure black light flashed across the depths of his eyes as a sliver of viciousness disappeared in the blink of an eye. The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth involuntarily curled up as he sensed the powerful energy within his body. His body trembled slightly as he appeared high up in the sky. His right hand slowly clenched into a fist as he forcefully shook it. Immediately, the bones all over his body emitted cracking sounds.
"Huff …"
After doing this, Xu Zhen exhaled a long breath of turbid air that had been suppressed in his chest as he involuntarily laughed.
"Nine-star Origin Emperor. Just one more star and my cultivation will be able to step into the Origin Sect. At that time, the only person left in the Du E Sect who can threaten me will be him!"
"Haha, there's no need to rush. It's still early. I believe that the people over there have already sensed Tang Long's death and will arrive here soon. At that time, we will kill Xiao Yan and snatch his Heavenly Flame. As for the two Woeful Poison Bodies, they will naturally not be important."
The space beside Xu Zhen slowly distorted as Yu Du's illusory figure appeared. When he saw his disciple in such a state, not only was there not the slightest bit of worry in his heart, he even felt a little crazy.
In order to obtain sufficient power, one had to pay an extremely great price. This price could be anything, be it time, energy, wealth, or even … one's life.
For some lunatics, as long as they could obtain sufficient power, they did not care about how much life they had left. Xu Zhen was precisely this type of person. Such a person was destined to be crazy.
"Teacher, do you think that little girl is really the so-called Holy Maiden?"
Other than killing intent, Xu Zhen was also curious about Lian Er when Xiao Yan's group was mentioned. Immediately, his face was filled with interest as he looked at Yu Du. He did not really believe that a Holy Maiden, who had disappeared for so many years, would actually once again return to their sights. This was a little unrealistic.
"Humph, none of this is important. Regardless of whether she is the Holy Lady or not, as long as that girl has the Woeful Poison Body, it is enough for the upper echelons of the Du Er Sect to take action. Once we obtain that Woeful Poison Body, no one should be able to stop your marriage with that girl from the Du Er Sect. In the future, the Du Er Sect will belong to us!"
Yu Du sneered in disdain. He did not care about his past identity. What was important now was to obtain the Woeful Poison Body, and not to worry about the authenticity of Lian 'er's identity.
"Oh? Now that they're here, it's up to you. "
All of a sudden, Yu Du frowned. Soon after, he hurriedly turned around and returned to Xu Zhen's body. The latter gave a heavy nod and hurriedly lowered his body. He deliberately slapped his chest, causing the Genesis Qi in his body to dissipate as his face paled. If those fellows knew that Tang Long was dead while his disciple was completely unharmed, he would not be able to avoid suspicion.
Moments later, three figures arrived and saw a pale-faced Xu Zhen seated on a mountain peak, recovering from his injuries. Only when he sensed the trio's arrival did Xu Zhen cautiously open his eyes. After confirming their identities, respect and regret surfaced on his pale face as he hurriedly stood up and bowed to the trio.
"Disciple greets the three elders!"
"Speak, what happened to Tang Long?"
Ignoring Xu Zhen's respectful attitude, the leader of the trio fixed his somewhat gloomy gaze on Xu Zhen as he asked in a low voice.
"Third elder, he … in order to save disciple …"
"Get to the point, I'm not in the mood to listen to your complaints!"
Before Xu Zhen's voice faded, the former bellowed again. Only then did Xu Zhen's expression abruptly change. He bowed and continued.
"Third elder and this junior accidentally discovered our sect's Saintess who had disappeared for many years …"
"What did you say?! Saintess? You found the Saintess? Where is she?! "
Before Xu Zhen finished speaking, the expressions of the three old men in front of him changed at the same time. There was even a hint of shock in their eyes. If this news were to spread to the sect, it was likely that even the sect leader would be alarmed!
"Yes, but when we went to chase after her, we were stopped by a boy called Xiao Yan. In the end … the third elder was killed by Xiao Yan. This junior tried my best to escape and luckily managed to keep my life, but the third elder …"
Towards the end, tears involuntarily gushed out from Xu Zhen's eyes, causing the three elders to laugh coldly in their hearts. Speaking of which, the news of the Saintess was already shocking enough.
"What is the strength of this Xiao Yan you speak of, and which faction does he belong to? Could it be the central region's Xiao clan?"
The expressions on the trio's faces could not help but be stunned when they heard Xiao Yan's name. In their impression, there was no Origin Sect expert called Xiao Yan in the central region. Even if there was one, it was likely to be a member of the Xiao clan. However, if that was the case, it would be troublesome. The Xiao clan was one of the top factions in the central region. Even though their Crossing Adversity Sect had an extraordinary status, it was undoubtedly much inferior to the Xiao clan.
"Elders, please be at ease. This Xiao Yan is not from the central region, but from the borders of the continent."
Xu Zhen nodded slightly and explained.
"Oh? From the borders of the continent? If that's the case, then there's no harm. Tell us, what star Origin Sect is he from? It's not easy to kill Tang Long! "
The elder in the lead gently nodded when he heard this, and his mood became much more relaxed. Since he was not from the central region, his life and death naturally did not matter.
However, when Xu Zhen heard the old man's words, the expression on his face unconsciously changed. His expression was a little strange for a moment. It was not until a long while later that he slowly said with some hesitation under the impatient gaze of the three people in front of him.
"Three Elders, that Xiao Yan … is not an expert from the Source Sect …"
"Hss!"
The trio's brows immediately raised when they heard these words, and they could not help but feel somewhat surprised. Someone who could kill Tang Long and was not a Origin Sect expert, could it be …
"Could it be a Origin Venerate level expert?"
"Origin Venerate?! Would an expert of that level give up his status to kill a Origin Sect expert? "
"Humph, Xu Zhen, it's better for you to speak. Who exactly is he?"
While the few of them were doubtful, the old man in the lead turned his gaze back to Xu Zhen. He raised his chin and sneered.
Xu Zhen could not help but open his mouth in fear when he saw the trio's gazes shoot over.
"Reporting to the three Elders, that Xiao Yan … is merely an early Origin Emperor …"
